The Fifa Executive Committee meet in Zurich today and tomorrow but it is unclear if the allegations of corruption concerning the decision to award the 2022 World Cup to Qatar will be on the agenda. The world body are no strangers to allegations of corruption, it seems to be an internal part of the fabric of the game at the top level, they are also extremely experienced at stonewalling such allegations.
The International Trades Union Congress, who are calling for the 2022 vote to be re-run, have called for fans attending games this weekend to turn their back on the field at the 22nd minute, to build awareness of what is going on with Fifa and the Qatari preparations.
When you get corruption at the top of an organisation it tends to undermine process all the way down. A clean and alert Fifa would give us a far better game. It’s time we were all asking questions about this.
Congratulations to Mrs Jobo Balde, who won at £50 voucher to spend at Cail Bruich, 725 Great Western Road. Jobo, drop me and email……….

Seville, The Celtic Movement, is selling like the proverbial……
“I decided to go to the train station only to be told that there were no more trains to Malaga that night and so I was now truly stranded. By chance I met an old man who asked me if I knew where the train station was. “It’s no good mate they are all off—all the trains have gone!”
“The old man laughed and explained that he wasn’t looking to get a train, but just needed to find the station as that is where he had parked his car while he and his wife went to the game.
“We spoke for a few minutes about what had happened to me and then he said if I could get him to the station he would drive me to Malaga as they were staying twenty minutes outside Malaga for the rest of the week!
“I was delighted and accepted the lift and we got to the airport just as the last call went out for my flight. I rushed on board and guess who was there? None other than my mate Jim. I owe that old man and his wife so much for their help.”

It is posited that directors box at Ibrox is not a safe environment for DUFC Chairman.
Chic Young opens his mouth.
You can guess the rest, surely.

I would like to think not ,
Maybe big Peter has shown him lol.

Sorry mate but surely you’re being facetious in your claim that 30,000 Tims were cheering CO?!
We were saluting the Celtic captain not an SFA official.
If the big screen is running the length of the South Stand, does that mean all the dignitaries and our betters will be shuttled round to the North Stand?
Paul67 – Can I ask you to apply some editorial control when releasing any further photos from CQteN? My PC crashed as soon as I clicked on that pic. Thanks.
How do I find photos from CQteN? Hail Hail Hebcelt

@JasonRoberts30: It is with great sadness that I announce my retirement from professional football on medical advice…Thank You Football for Everything…
Good pro and Celtic man
HT,
Are you trying to claim you weren’t celebrating Stuart dougals decision to give us a goal on TB Thursday?? ;p
Hamiltontim
How are you today , i posted earlier , did you do homers ?
It was to get my spelling , grammar and puctuation upto speed lol
It used to put me off posting , now i know it was’nt the spelling , but the content that was the cause of lack of replies ha ha , catchye :)
GM
Now, you’re definitely being facetious :-)

I don`t think it is an official return of the GB. Just all the Bhoys buying tickets for one part of the ground. As far as I know, it has nothing to do with any agreement with Celtic FC.
Cheerio for now,
JJ
Marspapa
As it happens I do occasionally do some home tutoring.
Sadly, Voguepunter couldn’t keep up with the payments :-(
HT,
I was actually trying to be funny but it was rubbish lol
But I agree with you. Thoms comment was the daftest thing I’ve read on here today.

How would Campbell know that. He thinks he is wonderful and we are all in awe of him and the fine job he is doing, hence our support for his competitions.
Why else would fans provide the SFA with funds to continue their good works, for the sake of Scottish football and society.
Or, am I missing something?
Gm
I’d catogarise myself in that bracket except that this is the first opportunity I’ve had to be on today :-)

You consider it “daft” but the question remains, “why financially support a corrupt organisation that has killed the game in Scotland”.
I would agree that it is a hard question for many to answer, but, valid just the same.

Thanks for posting the link about Kelly’s Cellars, it brought back some distant memories. Also good to see St Mary’s – never been to a church that touched the special atmosphere I experienced in there.
Thomthethim
Firstly, do you genuinely believe that CO thinks that we as Celtic supporters like him or think that he’s doing a wonderful job?
Secondly, the priority of going to support Celtic is what motivates Tims to attend matches sponsored by the SFA I’d imagine, not to line the pockets of CO et al.

Another record for Celtic.
The biggest TV screen in the history of the biggest TV screens!
HH!!
Thomthetim,
I didn’t go to semi or final last season, and I won’t till CO is gone.
I would have loved it if every single Tim done the same and sent a message.
They didn’t and I had dozens fighting for my tickets.
But to say the fans were cheering ogilvy that day is just plain cuckoo imo.
It’s Friday it’s five to five
Let’s pray the screen doesn’t break – imagine the riot that would……….maybe we will be alright.
Well as of 16:57 it’s officially Spring (vernal equinox and all that) !!
So I’m off to Dublin tomorrow for St Paddy’s Day part II – was going over last weekend but something else was on if I remember. Will be hoping to revisit my Irish roots, recover my voice and perhaps find Doc’s mythical wallet !! Oh and a Guinness or two after last weekends rehearsal !
Don’t think the St Mirren game will be on anywhere in the City Centre as it’s a 3pm k.o. but hope springs eternal that someone will mention a Celtic TV feed somewhere?
Anybody going to be Dublin downtown let me know and I’ll buy you a pint (steady Doc!) HH and give the bhoys a shout for me on Saturday.
I know – I know – one game at a time and all that but does anyone know if next Wednesday’s game against the Jags is on tv ?
Geordie
I am the same…had declined freebies with free food and drink….however it would have been difficult for me if it was at CP…fortunately Lenny and the bhoys sorted that wee issue for me..
Heb
How’s the lucky tie fairing?

One thing them big Screens will do ,is to hide the dirt that’s been there on the main stand since the redevelopment of the stadium , and that wasn’t yesterday,filthy is the word to describe it.
Hamiltontim
By the sounds of it , VP spends to much money on his hairdoos lol does the V stand for vain anyhoo am off aff toodles :))

Evening Timland from a warm hun free mountain valley.
Thomthethim.
I have to agree with you re not giving them money.
One game, even the threat of a boycott will have them kaking themselfs, but alas it’s never going to happen.
It seems the greater good isny the goal >}
HH
Kickinthenakas 100% record so far, even the SSM commented on it when I was over “the other side”. Maybe catch you on Saturday. Hail Hail Hebcelt
